This brings up another question that's actually not about the product so much but Novell support. What do most people
think of Novell support? Do they have good support or do they have poor support? For our project we chose SuSE
over Red Hat for several reasons, knowing that Red Hat support is known to be great. It would be nice to hear that
Novell support is good and that we will have support from a company that is committed to their product and their
customers, and for their products future. It appears to me, based on what I've read on the web, is that they are
doing that. Is this not the case?

Sparc is supported by a number of other flavors of Linux...Debian supports it, and a few others. However Suse does not, and I doubt very seriously if Novell cares if it is supported.
